Hi all,
I wrote an editor type program, that uses a dialog box as its main window. I would like the program to return immediately, but the dialog box to remain active. I have tried to use "Create" and "ShowWindow" in the "InitInstance" which works fine, except that the dialog box is immediately destroyed when the program terminates.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance
William
PS
I have already tried "SetParent (NULL)" to change the parent of the dialog to the desktop, but this did not have any effect at all.

Try calling another time your own programm in a second instance (with a m_bAlreadyOpened variable to make a sleep or avoid the return) before returning on the first one.
But what happens to you is totally logical. If the programm ends, the windows disappear. If not, any message called from the dialog would end in an error because there is nothing to answer him, or assertions or something like that.
Greetings.

Consider to write 2 programs or why do you need to habe the dialog if your program terminates?

This makes no sense, as the program and the dialog box are one in the same. If one goes away, so does the other.

True. However, I am looking for something like a normal editor: If I call for example notepad from a command box, I get the editor, but the command box is immediately available again (I immediately get the cursor back), even when the editor is still running. If I use my current program, I can only get my cursor back again in my command box by terminating the program. Therefore I intended to detach the dialog box from the program itself, which woudl enable me to terminate the program and keep the dialog box running. If this is not possible; does anyone have another solution?
Thanks in advance
William

You need two executables: one to do the launching (using CreateProcess()), and the other to be launched.

As David said, you need to use two exe's. In your example you call notepad.exe from the command box, which is cmd.exe. Internaly cmd.exe calls CreateProcess with the path to notepad.exe.
Another method you could try is not close your main window, but simply hide it.

Hi,
what is different between const char * and const char const *.
|
|
|
|
|
I would like to think the best answer to this question lies in actually coding something up and experimenting with the two to see what can and cannot be done. Has this form of research died off?

I hope i say it right ...
a char * is a pointer on a char-array where you can change all chars into the string.
a const char* is a pointer on a string which you can't change, because he is declared or really constant ( for example "test" is a constant string in your memory, you can't change it)
and a const char const * is even the pointer constant. That means if the pointer is initializated you can't re-use him
const char const *locked = malloc(sizeof(char)*5);
...
locked = malloc(sizeof(char)*15); --> DOESN'T WORK
I hope i don't have sayed bullshit

Hi ,
The second way is wrong. we cannot use same type qualifier more than once. A type declaration or definition uses a type qualifier (const, volatile, signed, or unsigned) more than once. This causes a warning with Microsoft extensions (/Ze) and an error under ANSI compatibility (/Za).

If you exchange const char const * with const char * const,
'baerten' ist right.
The order of words here is only important in that one const has to be before and one after the *

After a question about the MFC42.dll and one of the answers with the "dependancy walker", I would like to know if my project would have problems in other computers where Visual Studio is not installed.
I have used the dependancy walker and it says that there are 3 problems. The *.dll are:
DWMAPI.dll
MPR.dll
SHLMAPI.dll
I have tested my release version with the computer of a partner without VS in his system and it has been opened without problems and some basic functions worked too. I have just used MFC controls and commands (95% sure about this), so I guess my programm will run good in other computers with basic operating systems. But...
What are the above mentioned DLLs for? (Just curiosity)

Have you tried to right-click them in Explorer and select Properties?

"Have you tried to right-click them in Explorer and select Properties?"
yes, I tried with the dependancy walker and with the normal windows explorer under c:\windows\system32
but the information they gave told me nothing. Just the name, the version and some numbers more and the F1 help says nothing about them.
Anyways, it doesn't matters, as long as I can know, they have nothing to do with my software, so they are not going to give me any problem. When I need to know about them, I will search all I need to understand their function.
Edit: Something deleted

Unless it's part of the URL, you can't.

hi, everybody! I face the interest challenge. I want to change the view of system buttons (but i'm speaking not about BS_BITMAP or BS_OWNERDRAW ), i'm want to view buttons with my style as soon as windows loads their (maybe subclassing or api hooks)

In general BS_OWNERDRAW and subclassing are combined to draw custom buttons. But you specified that you dont need BS_OWNERDRAW but subclassing.
My doubt is that, are you interested in window proc subclassing?
